3rd IKZ Winter School: "Layer Transfer Technologies - from artificial crystals to novel applications"
Layer transfer introduces a paradigm change in the way crystalline heterostructures could be synthesized. In contrast to established growth methods of epitaxial heterostructures which must oblige to matching conditions at the interface with respect to surface energies, lattice parameter and crystal symmetry, layer transfer allows in principle for the combination of any crystalline materials.
The potential to create novel artificial crystalline heterostructures has been demonstrated with 2-dimensional van der Waals (2D-vdW) materials such as graphene. New functional interfaces can be realized by combinations of different 2D-vdW-materials and by re-assembling layers in different ways, for exampleby introducing a twist angle between the layers. To make novel materials and heterostructures available to applications, demands scale-up and integration to existing fabrication lines. We will discuss the latest developments of integration of 2D-materials and functional oxides into Si-technology. Further, a wide range of state-of-the-art layer tran sfer, micro transfer printing and wafer bonding technologies will be covered. The winter school will be held in English and in a hybrid format.
The Winter School is directed at the employees of the Leibniz-Institut für Kristallzüchtung as well as at employees of other institutions, especially students and PhDs.
